Looks like a glitch in DB package. Anyone ?

Hello,

Is this a fresh install on a new installed RHEL 6.x ?

I checked my logs from my latest install and it did not contain the lines

Creating the database: rhevm

dropdb: database removal failed: ERROR:  database "rhevm" does not exist

createdb: database creation failed: ERROR:  encoding UTF8 does not match locale en_SG

Hi Peter,

It’s a RHEL6.2 host with default packages installed. so i did an customized installation(selected all the packages) during installation, now database creation is successful. but, it fails at starting JBOSSAS service.

Jboss service starts at the backend, but the init script couldn’t complete and due to this  it errors out.

 

Error message from rhevm_setup logs:

 

2012-10-10 05:43:50::DEBUG::rhevm-setup::1835::root:: Starting JBoss Service

2012-10-10 05:43:50::DEBUG::common_utils::165::root:: cmd = /sbin/service jbossas start

jbossas-run2012-10-10 05:47:52::DEBUG::common_utils::170::root:: output = Starting jbossas:

jbossas startup has timed out, process still running.

 

Here is the process state after the rhevm-setup error out:

i tried google and seen some similer issues but no solution. 

 

rhevm and jbossas package version::

rhevm-3.0.3_0001-3.el6.x86_64

rhevm-setup-3.0.3_0001-3.el6.x86_64

jbossas-5.1.2-10.ep5.el6.noarch

jbossas-client-5.1.2-10.ep5.el6.noarch

Hi, 

 

I used this home made procedure several times with good results, but it's

made from the official install guide

Start with clean server (delete/create raid)

install basic linux server 6.3 (no extra rpm's)

16 GB Ram, 16 GB swap (8 GB of each will work)

Default disk layout

# register to RHN

rhn_register

rhn-channel --list
rhn-channel --help
rhn-channel  --available-channels

# Add subscriptions

rhn-channel --add --channel=rhel-x86_64-server-supplementary-6
rhn-channel --add --channel=rhel-x86_64-server-6-rhevm-3
rhn-channel --add --channel=rhel-x86_64-server-6-rhevh

rhn-channel --list

yum remove classpathx-jaf  (if present)

# update OS
